What is a Malta Family Visa?
A Malta Family Visa allows eligible foreign nationals to join or visit close family members who are Maltese citizens, European Union (EU) citizens residing in Malta, permanent residents, or individuals holding valid residence permits. Depending on the applicant’s relationship and the sponsor’s immigration status, applicants may apply for family reunification or the appropriate residence permit under Maltese immigration regulations.
The visa or residence permit category, validity, and duration of stay are determined by Identità Malta and the competent Maltese immigration authorities.
